Fallen Frontiers 2nd Edition Starter Box Now Available From Scale75
November 8, 2018 by brennon
This one crept up on me! Scale75 released the new Fallen Frontiers 2nd Edition Starter Box at the end of October with revamped rules, cards and all of the accessories you need to play the game including those gorgeous miniatures.
This boxed set comes with two factions for you to play as, Ares and the Riff.
Inside the set, you'll also find all of the templates, terrain and other accessories you need to play a game. The miniatures themselves are 35mm in scale so bigger than most people are probably used to playing with.
The miniatures themselves are stunning and we wouldn't have expected anything less from Scale75 who create some wonderful large-scale figures.
The Ares faction are your typical power armour clad space marines that you'll be used to seeing in your Sci-Fi games. As you can see you get two cool characters and then a Squad to use as well. I really like the helmet design for these guys and although yellow is their main colour I think I'd be tempted to go with a burnt orange for this lot actually!
Arrayed against them we have the Riff who are some of the coolest looking aliens we've seen.
I love their predatory edge! The cool thing about these miniatures is that because of their increased scale you've got more room to work with when it comes to painting. Mix that in with the chance that you could go completely wild on the armour plates with some freehand designs and transfers and you've got a very cool looking force waiting for you.
Are you going to be taking another look at Fallen Frontiers?

Enjoyed playing the first version of this game for a while but it wasn’t without its problems. This new version looks quite different mechanically but still retains the essence of the original. And the models are really fantastic!
great looking figures for a fab looking game.
I really dig the look of this! Thanks for putting it in front of my eyes.
Truly lovely minis, especially the riff, unfortunately I just don’t have room for another niche game
Totally need to crack out my 3 armies again for this
The Ares are some of the best power armoured minis I’ve seen. Some other companies could definitely take lessons from Scale75!
Those look really good.
The minis look nice, but there are too many duplicates for such a low model count for me to be interested in this.
Yes, I think having so many duplicates in this set is off putting to lots of people.
Is this game any good? I mean, clearly this is something that hasnt been released, but you know, has anyone played it and what do they think, in detail? Thanks!
This game has me highly curious.
Rules are available here for download. I haven’t had the chance to test them yet but seems pretty good.

From my read through it is a lot simpler than first ed.
Once I am back from my work conference I will try and get a game and get a full play review done (hell maybe a recording of the gameplay).
